reesetee Bilby, if your doctor is prying at those wobbly bits with a sphygmomanometer, perhaps you need a new doctor. Dec 19, 2007
bilby Appears irreversible rolig. I think the group lists feature is still a work in progress. Dec 19, 2007
rolig Bilby, you're right! But how do I delete "my" magnum? Dec 19, 2007
sionnach This is a fine list, though I have to agree with rolig, that there is nothing intrinsically horrible about the -gn- combination. Difficulties in pronunciation seem to arise only when the -gn- combo appears too close to another 'n' or 'm'. Dec 19, 2007
ravages IGNOU? An acronym for the Indira Gandhi National Open University. It's now forgotten, is the name and only referred to as IGNOU Dec 19, 2007
bilby Magnum was added a while back so there must be a bugnum in the group list feature that allows words to be added more than once. Dec 19, 2007
bilby I do, sionnach. I can never concentrate when those doctor persons are prying at my wobbly bits. Dec 19, 2007
sionnach Bilby: do you mean sphygmomanometer? This is a word I have difficulty pronouncing. Magnanimity is another.
I do have a list somewhere called 'My karma ran over my dogma'. Dec 19, 2007
rolig there are all those greek words with -gm-: dogma, phlegmatic, syntagmatic, paradigmatic... Could be a different list. Dec 19, 2007
bilby How about sphigmomenometer? Is gm as unpalatable as gn? Dec 19, 2007
bilby Haha, g-no way! What can I say?! Dec 19, 2007
rolig Yeah, I know, bilby, the "g" is supposed to be silent, but I like to say "g-nome", "g-nu", etc. -- because I can! Why let all that training with Slavic consonant clusters go to waste just because I'm speaking English? Also, Ravages, listed "gnat", so I figured it was OK. Dec 19, 2007
bilby rolig, please tell me how you pronounce gnome? Dec 18, 2007
ravages Carthaginian?
Dec 18, 2007
rolig I've added a few... but I'm not sure what it is you find so horrible about -gn-. I suppose it's highly subjective. Dec 18, 2007
ravages design?
Dec 18, 2007
misterpolly Yes, so short as to be practically ignaudible. Dec 18, 2007
bilby The schwa is pretty short in bargaining. Is the sound in that word equally offensive? Dec 18, 2007
